Brighton-based four-piece The New Eves – Violet Farrer (guitar, violin, vocals), Nina Winder-Lind (cello, guitar, vocals), Kate Mager (bass, vocals), and Ella Oona Russell (drums, flute, vocals) – release their anticipated debut album The New Eve Is Rising today, 1 August 2025, via Transgressive Records (listen here).
The New Eves’ debut arrives fully formed yet restlessly inventive—a raw, literary fusion of punk and folk that feels both ancient and newly unearthed. It’s a confident, intuitive work that conjures a sense of discovery, as if brilliant ideas are being uncovered in real time. There’s something thrilling about being in its presence: a feeling of uncharted territory being mapped, of reinvention unfolding before your ears. Spellbinding and unforgettable, this is the sound of a band not just arriving, but already reshaping the landscape—and the future feels electric.
“The space we go into when we perform feels quite far away from regular life. It takes a lot out of us and we really go into this other dimension, so it’s amazing that we can bring people there with us,” says Ella. “The live show is what’s got us everywhere – we had barely any music out, it was all so underground, but people just wanted to come and they’ve never stopped coming.”
Somewhere between primal rock’n’roll and transcendent ritual, The New Eves create an alchemy that feels instinctive and entirely their own. On stage, their presence is boundless and magnetic—a kind of magic that rewrites the rules of how to be a band, as women, and as creators. That same energy runs through The New Eve Is Rising, a debut forged in deep connection and fearless experimentation. “This project has been about us redefining ourselves, and we hope anyone who’s listening can be inspired by that,” says Nina. Ella adds, “We’re seeing how far we can go as four people by creating our own mythology.”
Musically, the record distills their untamed sound—a potent mix of radical poetry, rock’n’roll wildness, and freak-folk experimentalism—into something urgent and melodic. Immersive and alive, The New Eve Is Rising doesn’t just invite you in; it builds a world of its own. More than a debut, it’s a powerful first chapter from a band already reshaping the landscape.
“It’s the idea that you can do what you want – you don’t have to do things a certain way,” Nina says, summing up the revolutionary spirit of The New Eves and their debut. “When we made this band, we didn’t know what to expect. No one gave us permission. You have to do that for yourself.”
